Dear nc,
Just thought I'd help you out here by enabling the link (= URL) you listed to function as expected. All I did was remove the letter "s" from the 'https' prefix. See! 😃
By the way, while its common for many Hogs to otherwise do what you did, i.e. give an article or video a nebulous description followed by just the link, I view it as, to be polite about it, too Spartan. Therefore, I won't even look at it until you or someone on this Topic describes it. 🤔

I've spent some time in high places and can tell you there's some real safety issues set aside during the making of this video.

First, if there's a chance of falling and hanging there for a while, you don't tie off like this guy does. a fall could cause a serious back injury. Plus, because the upper body is heavier than the lower, you will find yourself hanging upside-down while awaiting rescue.

The main tie off, needs to be between the shoulders.

Also, the spikes out on the arm expose the guy to impalement, they need a wide blunt cover on them.

And lastly, you don't do this sort of work or use hand tools, with a crowd below you.

Thanks for the advice! Don't think I'll be trying this anytime soon!I could see myself falling on one of those spikes on the first step. After that you don't need to worry about any of the other dangers!

As he chiseled on the arm, I thought of the expression about cutting off the limb you're standing on.

Was his wife calling to remind him to pick up something on the way home? :D
